'For the real thing, why don't we leave out the wires?'

All Finn wants to do is impress eccentric director Agatha Novak, but when he agrees to perform a stunt without any safety wires it starts a chain of events that spirals out of control.

An action-packed adventure story with an exciting film location setting.

Finn is a free-running black belt, with a talent for acting-but when his big break arrives, it's not the role he was expecting at all.

Recruited as a stunt double, he's pushed to his limits-scaling walls at high speed, jumping from dizzying heights, and diving into rocky waters-all without any safety gear. He's determined to push himself, but as the stunts get more dangerous, the lines between movie and reality are really starting to blur, and it becomes clear that he'll be luckily to escape this shoot with his life.
